			Sir... I don't know much about the 
			Bajoran terrorists, but...

			You've never fought the Cardassians, 
			have you?

					SISKO
			No.

					O'BRIEN
			Well you just wouldn't want to turn 
			a man... any man... over to their 
			tender care, Sir.  You just wouldn't.

	Sisko reacts, nods... as O'Brien picks up a signal on his 
	console...

					O'BRIEN
			Subspace transmission from Admiral 
			Rollman for you, Commander...

					SISKO
			In my office...

	He enters...

	Sisko hits a panel at his desk, the same admiral appears on 
	the monitor...

					ADMIRAL
			Ben, that Bajoran woman you've got 
			working for you interrupted a staff 
			meeting to tell me how she disapproves 
			of your handling of this asylum 
			matter... I think you have a problem 
			there, Commander.

					SISKO
				(beat, tight)
			Yes, Admiral.
